Based on Web of Science sources
This essential analysis tool summarizes citations
from the journals, books, and proceedings in
the Web of Science Core Collection, which is a
painstakingly selected, actively curated database
of the sources that have been judged to be
the most important and useful in their fields.
Clarivate Analytics is publisher-neutral.
Because we do not publish journals, we provide
journal intelligence that is objective and
independent. We can tell each journal’s story.
Additionally, Journal Citation Reports now includes
more article-level data, so you have an understanding
of the reciprocal relationship between the article
and the journal. This level of transparency allows you
to not only see the data, but see through the data
to a more nuanced consideration of journal value.
